2016 Minor Pacific Playoff Format

The 2016 Playoff format for the Minor Pacific division will be run as per the table below. The playoff game schedule will be posted by the end of the regular season.

The Minor Pacific division, with 5 teams will have the following format:

QUALIFICATION

The top three teams receive a bye and automatically qualify for the semi finals.

Playoff Series:

4th seed v. 5th seed

This will be two game series. For each of these series, the team with the most points (2 points for a win and 1 point for a tie) after two games will advance to the next round.

Should each team be tied after the two game series, a ten minute overtime (the full ten minutes will be played, this is not a sudden death overtime) will be played immediately after the second game and if the two teams are still tied, a shootout will be employed to determine a winner – based on best of three shooters and sudden death thereafter.

The winner from the above series will proceed to the semi finals where they will play the top three regular season teams.

SEMI FINALS / FINALS

The winners of the qualification series move onto the semi-finals, with the semi-final winners playing in the finals. These series will be a best two of three game series.

As a winner is required for each game, overtime will be played in these games. Overtime will be ten minutes sudden death, followed by a shoot out to resolve any ties – the shootout will be based on best of three shooters and sudden death thereafter.
